What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early access gives you the ability to help shape Assault on the Necrospire. Your feedback will directly impact how the game is developed and the direction it goes in. While Assault on the Necrospire is in a playable state, the final floor is still in development and the game may contain bugs. If you would rather play a game that feels totally complete, please wait until further on in the early access period or for the final release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Assault on the Necrospire will be in early access for around 6 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Assault on the Necrospire will feature controller support, additional items, rooms and secrets. It will also be released with an optional hard mode, aimed at players who want an extra challenge. Hard mode will alter gameplay mechanics such as room layouts and AI behaviours, rather than granting enemies flat damage bonuses. Venturing through the Necrospire will grant permanent unlocks so progression can be felt through different runs.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Assault on the Necrospire currently features all 9 floors, 140 items, 8 unique boss fights and over 110 room layouts. It also now includes co-op, whereby you and another player can venture through the Necrospire together. Additional content and features are being added on a regular basis. Whilst great care has been taken to ensure the game is stable, some bugs may still exist.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game's price will not change after early access. All early access purchasers will receive the full game automatically upon release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“With countless combinations of items, spells and relics, community feedback will be hugely important for striking the right level of balance in the game. New features may be introduced or existing ones may be removed depending on the responses from the community. Whatever your thoughts, please get in touch.”

Controller support is now available for testing on the beta branch. To access this branch, you'll need to take the following steps:

Right click Assault on the Necrospire in your steam library

Click on the betas tab

Select beta - 1.2.1 from the drop down menu

Your game should update and display a controller status on the bottom left of the main menu

Please ensure that your controller is plugged in before you start the game. As I've only been able to test this functionality on an Xbox controller, I am particularly interested to hear from people using other gamepads. If anything doesn't feel right or isn't working properly, please let me know. Thanks.

Edit 17/06/17

Controller support has been deployed to the main game branch as patch 1.2.1. Many thanks to those who tested on the beta branch.

June 5

I'm pleased to say that 1.2 is now live! Apologies once again for the particularly long development time on this patch. While controller support did not end up making it into this release, it will be the next feature implemented.
